I am having issues when re-using yeast not getting the proper haze for a Hazy/NE style beers. 1st time use/straight from Wyeast the beer remains cloudy almost indefinitely in the serving tanks and/or kegs regardless of grain bill and/or double dry hopped.
Generation 2+ clears out incredibly fast. Recent example was a double dry hopped session IPA sent to the serving tank after 8 days in the FV on a Thursday, by Monday, it is as clear as a lager.
Majority of my hazy ipa's/pales are 75% base malt, 20% oats, 5% wheat. Some Double dry hopped, some not. (I don't harvest yeast that has been dry hopped during fermentation).
I am brewing 10bbl batches SOP are: Pitch yeast. FG is usually reached by day 6-7. Crash to low 50s over the course of 2 days. Drop trub. Harvest into a couple corny kegs the following day. Dump any remaining yeast. Let rise back up to the 60's/dry hop for 4-5 days. Blow c02 into the bottom port to stir up dry hops on day 4-5. Crash back to 30s over the course of 3 days. Dump hops. Send to the serving tank. I dont use any clarifiers, etc. I also cant top crop(wondering if this is the issue, that I am harvesting all the yeast that flocc well?).
